WWNam Books
I reccomend a book entitled "Red Bird Down", by Bruce Carlson. He was a Scout Pilot that I followed around, as a Snake Driver on many missions. He and I were roomies for a while.
This is not a "John Wayne" book, but an account of how a young, idealistic, person is changed by the situation.
The now Reverand, Mr. Carlson, was shot down five times before his 21st birthday. Once after. He never completed his 365 due to injuries incured 40 days before his DEROS, in a Jungle Rules volley ball game. That is a unique story on it's own.
He was the Chaplain in Apr, 2006, when the 7/17th was re-activated at Ft. Campbell. We were C Troop. Have to include that.
A great list of books that I will order immediately.
06:00 showup tomorrow.
Cheers,
Chas Alexander
